Episode Details

WASPI women, born in the 1950s, are still fighting for compensation after being blindsided by sudden pension age hikes from 60 to 65 and then 66—too late to adjust their plans. The Ombudsman found the DWP at fault and recommended payouts of £1,000 to £2,950, but Labour refuses, saying most knew about the changes. WASPI is now taking the government to court for a judicial review, expecting a High Court decision in 2-3 months. While some politicians—including Lib Dems and Greens—have voiced support, WASPI’s chair warns that promises often vanish once elected. They’re raising £100,000 for legal costs, already at £60,000, and plan to rally support at major union conferences in June, hoping to turn public frustration into political momentum.
